| - I love Wild Ginger, despite all their faults. Yes, it is always empty. Yes, the service is slow. And yes the service is slow, including if you order take out. But the food is fantastic for what it is.
Yes, it's typical Americanized Chinese food. You're not going to find traditional Chinese food here and honestly I'm unsure if there are any restaurants like that in our area.
The atmosphere is absolutely wonderful inside. Rice lanterns everywhere and it's very modern and clean.
To me, the food is hit or miss but the stuff that is a hit is really good! Their general tso's and sweet and sour chicken are both really good, and I love their fried rice - It has an interesting sweet taste to it. The dumplings, both fried and steamed, are awesome and their wonton soup is the best I've had.
Their chicken lo mein has a good flavor but is so overwhelmingly greasy I find it hard to eat. And their egg rolls are honestly the worst I've ever had and too heavy of a hand on the pepper.
All in all, it's my favorite Chinese joint. Yes, it's typical american style Chinese, but it's better quality and taste than your average take out joint.
